Hockey fans will instinctively flock to the International Centre in Mississauga, ON from May 4-6 to take part in an event that has grown exponentially in the last couple years. The Spring Sport Card & Memorabilia Expo has become one of the greatest hobby events of the year with distributor partners and dealers providing great deals and promotions to fans in attendance. Nobody does it bigger than Upper Deck and we have a variety of great activities that are sure to keep collectors smiling throughout the show.

Here is what you can expect from Upper Deck at the Show:
